24.2 Manufacture of tubes, pipes, hollow profiles and related fittings, of steel
24.20 Manufacture of tubes, pipes, hollow profiles and related fittings, of steel
This class includes:
– manufacture of seamless tubes and pipes of circular or non-circular cross section and of blanks of circular cross section, for
further processing, by hot rolling, hot extrusion or by other hot processes, of an intermediate product which can be a bar or
a billet obtained by hot rolling or continuous casting
– manufacture of precision and non-precision seamless tubes and pipes from hot rolled or hot extruded blanks by further
processing, by cold-drawing or cold-rolling of tubes and pipes of circular cross section and by cold drawing only for tubes
and pipes of non circular cross section and hollow profiles
– manufacture of welded tubes and pipes of an external diameter exceeding 406.4 mm, cold formed from hot rolled flat
products and longitudinally or spirally welded
– manufacture of welded tubes and pipes of an external diameter of 406.4 mm or less of circular cross section by continuous
cold or hot forming of hot or cold rolled flat products and longitudinally or spirally welded and of non-circular cross section
by hot or cold forming into shape from hot or cold rolled strip longitudinally welded
– manufacture of welded precision tubes and pipes of an external diameter of 406.4 mm or less by hot or cold forming of hot
or cold rolled strip and longitudinally welded delivered as welded or further processed, by cold drawing or cold rolling or cold
formed into shape for tube and pipe of non-circular cross section
